Help! My mods are all gone in the list!
I noticed that all the mods in my list is not in the list for some reason. So I went to the workshop and all the mods i subscribed to are still indicating that i am subscribed still. Its just its not on the list. So I still played the game coz im curious and sure enough, all mods are gone and I have a warning message over and over again saying that "this pet, this bag is gone reverting to fallback" something like that. anyone has this issue?

There's an easy way to fix this, IIRC, for general issues with the Workshop and mods disappearing when a game gets patched. I just don't remember what it is since I don't use the Workshop with any other games than Kenshi.

(I copy my few mods over to the /mods folder so I can play offline and Steam won't touch that folder at all, so I don't have to worry about this issue.)

mods disappearing is a steam issue
eventually they will show back up
you can also try restarting your computer.

I will try this!

It worked! i unsubscribed all 40 or something mods i had. Then I tried to subscribe one mod, clicked play, and it showed in the list! I just need to find and look for that 39 mods now and thats it! Thanks so much !

Should've just restarted Steam. Save you the trouble of finding and installing 40 mods.

This is what worked for me....

Restart Steam -> Play Kenshi -> Check Mod List in the Launcher

If no Mods -> Click the Refresh List button in the lower right, wait ~10 seconds.

If nothing happens and the list isn't populated -> Exit Launcher

Now check to see if Steam is downloading anything.

If Steam is not downloading anything -> Restart Steam -> Unsubscribe to 1 Kenshi Mod

Subscribe to the Kenshi Mod you just unsubscribed from. This should cause Steam to now start downloading all your Mods. You should now check the Mod list in the Kenshi Launcher and see all your Mods are there. Ended up needing to download 3 GB of Workshop content after I resubscribed to 1 Mod and all my Mods populated.
I got this problem today too, but I have about 100 mods , omg

Moving all your mods in workshop folder to the mod folder under Kenshi

Yeah, that's what I do. Steam only sees my Kenshi mods if I am online. To have them for offline play (which is how I almost always play) I just copy them all to the /mods folder under Kenshi. You just have to re-name all the folders to the exact name of the mod file inside each one.

Mine do too, I swear each time i load up my computer launch the game, they're gone from the list. Then i have to validate my game, and they're magically back again. And if the game crashes they're gone again!

This resolved the issue for me. No other fix posted here resolved the issue as of the time of this post.
